Dumas, AnccstOrs.

1t is a curious fact that Dumas, so far
as have seen, said little or nothing
about his origin. His grandmother was
negro slave, his father mulatto, and
the only anecdote l ever heard connected
with Dumas and tie African blood 10 his
veins was one where it was represented
that some imperiinent fellow asked
him il his father was mulatto, and he
replied Eyes" "And your fathers
mother" continued Master Imperti-
nence. "a full blooded negress." was
the reply. 'And her ancestors?" fol.
lowed the persistent inquirer.
"A monkey" thundf red forth Dumas,
'and furthermore inform you that my

Fresh Fashion Notes.
TRAINS.

A style that seems TO obtain favor
this winter consists in having the train
OF long dress to harmonizs with the
dress. but of different material. For
example, in dress of apricot corded
silk. brocaded with pink half,open roses,
the court train, which is arranged in two
very deep box plaits, and wideps and
spreads as it reaches the lower edge, is
made Of this fabric, then the petlicoat is
made of satin, repped uncut velvet or
plain plush of tho same shade as the
flowers in the brocade, then the corsage
and sleeves match the train, and the
vest and other trimmings correspond
with the material forming the petticoat.
This combination is usually repeated in
every color and in most gowns Of dressy
nature.
